Yes. Ernest ¡°Mooney¡± Warther was a master carver of wood. And he liked trains. His work was featured in the April 1970 ¡°Model Railroader.¡± His skill was something else. He never painted anything, all his contrasting colors were accomplished by using different materials for the various pieces. My son visited the Warther Museum in Dover, OH. A few year ago and on my advice was in total amazement. Not only him but his wife and two girls were just as impressed as he by the artistry of Mooney¡¯s work. Someday I will get there myself and I highly recommend that anyone traveling in that area do the same.
